How to make multiple box plot using R

Question

This is the headt of my data set

ï..age    sex cp trestbps chol fbs restecg thalach exang oldpeak slope ca thal
1     63   male  3      145  233   1       0     150     0     2.3     0  0    1
2     37   male  2      130  250   0       1     187     0     3.5     0  0    2
3     41 female  1      130  204   0       0     172     0     1.4     2  0    2
4     56   male  1      120  236   0       1     178     0     0.8     2  0    2
5     57 female  0      120  354   0       1     163     1     0.6     2  0    2
6     57   male  0      140  192   0       1     148     0     0.4     1  0    1
  target
1    yes
2    yes
3    yes
4    yes
5    yes

the depended variable is the target an I want to plot a multiple box plot of the numeric variables only (age, trestbps, thalach...) and I want to fill it with the depended variable (target), each of this variable must filled with the depended variable. How to do that?

You can use the following code

library(tidyverse)

df %>% 
  mutate_if(is.numeric,as.character, is.factor, as.character) %>% 
  pivot_longer(-target) %>%
  filter(!((name == "sex"))) %>% 
  mutate(value = as.numeric(value)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = target, y = value)) +
  geom_boxplot() +
  facet_wrap(name~., scales = "free")

Data

df <- read.table(text = "age    sex cp  trestbps    chol    fbs restecg thalach exang   oldpeak slope   ca  thal    target
63  male    3   145 233 1   0   150 0   2.3 0   0   1   yes
37  male    2   130 250 0   1   187 0   3.5 0   0   2   yes
41  female  1   130 204 0   0   172 0   1.4 2   0   2   yes
56  male    1   120 236 0   1   178 0   0.8 2   0   2   yes
57  female  0   120 354 0   1   163 1   0.6 2   0   2   yes
57  male    0   140 192 0   1   148 0   0.4 1   0   1   yes", header =T)
